Some interesting (clean) facts, I've found on the internet.  Ain't the internet grand?

  • Scientists say the higher your I.Q., the more you dream.

  • The largest cell in the human body is the female egg.

  • The smallest is the male sperm.

  • You use 200 muscles to take one step.

  • The average woman is 5 inches shorter than the average man.

  • Your big toes have two bones each while the rest have three.

  • A pair of human feet contain 250,000 sweat glands. (what were they thinking?)

  • A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball.

  • The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razor blades. (Oh, boy... let's add some Coca-Cola to that)

  • The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. (huh?)

  • It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

  • The average human dream lasts 2-3 seconds.

  • Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair.

  • At the moment of conception, you spent about half an hour as a single cell.

  • There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet. (I wonder how long it took to count all of them?)

  • Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil.

  • The enamel in your teeth is the hardest substance in your body.

  • Your teeth start developing (in your gums) 6 months before you are born.

  • When you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate, they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate.

  • Blondes have more hair than dark-haired people.

  • Your thumb is the same length as your nose.

  • At this very moment I know full well you are putting this last fact to the test .... You did it -- I KNOW you did !!!!!
